Click!
I will be on my way to Mysore to work(where sadly and stupidly enough I'm not allowed to use my on laptop!)and owing to my lack of planning and abundance of laziness, I have no posts ready for the next months. so for next two posts, you will have a couple of pictures that I have clicked! here goes one.. |
Weird but True...
After a month of idleness, I am back!
Well, this time, its a bit about relationships...
After all good and bad experiences, I have come to decide this : The chances of losing a person or a relationship is least, when you are completely ready to lose the same!
Sounds weird but true.. Its like the saying - The only way to prevent war is to prepare for it!!
Spare a thought for it!
Till later!
PS: I have been busy of late. I regret the short posts and the delay.

Interesting!
Here are a few interesting facts! I am sure you have come across them before, but here they are:
How long did the Hundred Years War last?
-116 Years
The Hundred Years' War is the name modern historians have given to what was a series of related conflicts, fought over a 116-year period, between England and France, and later Burgundy; beginning in 1337, and ending in 1453. Historians group these conflicts under the same label, for convenience.
Which country makes Panama hats?
-Ecuador!
Despite the name, genuine Panama hats are made in Ecuador, not Panama; their naming comes from the fact that they came to prominence during the construction of the Panama Canal.
From which animal do we get catgut?
-Sheep or goat. Catgut is the name applied to cord of great toughness and tenacity prepared from the intestines of sheep/goat, or occasionally from those of the hog, horse, mule, and donkey. Those of the cat are not employed, and therefore it is supposed that the word is properly kitgut "violin string", kit meaning "fiddle", and that the present form has arisen through confusion with kit = cat.
In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
-November 7, to be exact. The original Russian (Julian) calendar was 13 days behind ours. It is also known as the Bolshevik Revolution and led to the creation of the Soviet Union in 1917.
What is a camel's hair brush made of?
-Paintbrush bristles described by manufacturers as camel hair are actually derived either from the hairs of horses, squirrels, goats, sheep, bears, or some combination of these.
What was King George VI's first name?
The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal?
What color is a purple finch?
Where are Chinese gooseberries from?
Which seabird has the zoological name Puffinus puffinus?
From which material are mole-skin trousers made?

Dept Of ISE, GIT, Belgaum
I am so not-proud of it! This department.
Firstly, my problem is this : no professor encourages students or their ideas. My team and my project idea was rejected and we were forced to do what they want us to do. My internal examiner, Prof. R.B.Hanji just yelled at me without even hearing what our idea was just because we were not willing to implement his ideas.
Secondly, most of the professors don't give a damn about what problem you have or what you are trying to do. When we had troubles with project, we went to Prof. Kiran Tangod, our so-called guide. He directed us to Prof.A.H.Kulkarni, who in turn asked us to meet Prof.Rajesh Kadkol, who said he'd not used the particular technology and hence directed us to Prof. Anjana Nagarhalli. She managed to give us some solution but well, dint really work out well. What do you do about this?
Our project report's was kept in my guide's cabin for 15 days and he dint even bother to open it! Forget reading!
Third, So many things depends on your impression: My project team and a few other teams have been awarded relatively lower marks. They do not even have a proper justification for deducting marks and there was no criteria based on which marks were distributed. I have no idea what to do or where to go. Prof. Hanji, when approached, said that it was because we hadn't shown the different phases. When we reminded him that we infact had, then he told us we had no report. We had submitted report ages back. Is it our problem that guide found no time to check it? or that examiner was out of station. Partiality rules the department!
Fourth, a lot of malpractice is also involved. Prof. Hanji made a few people write four internals (which is against VTU rules! Maximum allowed internals are 3!) just because they had not attended his classes and he has cut marks and later told that it is the punishment for not attending lectures. He has asked students to just replace the first page of the blue books, where we write our internal marks and average, to improve student's average when he likes to.
All these are so not happening. Though HOD is kind and she makes sure she attends to students issues, she's relatively new and she doesn't seem know that students are scared off by the threats. We went and spoke to her yesterday, anyway.
I am not saying we have no faults. When it comes to project, yes, we have our faults. Initially, we dint work properly and later we got no support and hence lost a lot of interest. If we have screwed up marks, yes, its our fault too. But lecturers' contribution is still there. And I am totally against the malpractices and threats.
I wanted to write about all this for a long time now, but gained up enough courage today. I hope people stand up against such things and make it a better place.

Back!
I am back! A few bits of random bits that I want to share:
Till later,
- Though I had decided that I wont apologize, or give explanations that I have been stuck up with my never-ending project report (this is a bit weird considering that the project itself did not take as much time!)and internals, meeting professors, waiting for them before meeting them and everything! And to add to that, I have a hell lot to study, now that I am here, I am sorry ! I regret my absence!
- I am trying out this "Making it the best" or "Giving it a hundred percent" theory, where "it" refers to whatever you do! brush, wash clothes, study, talk, walk, blog or whatever! I find it pretty interesting ! Thanks to a friend!
- There's something wrong with this blogger editor! when I press enter, cursor doesnt go to next line! I have to press a space after enter for newline! weird!
- Every damn human being has some or the other talent! man.. I had so wrongly judged a acquaintance of mine! I had almost decided she's dumber than I am! but well... As it turns out, she writes awesome poems and she writes them in Marathi, her mother tongue. She has it in her... Catchy analogies and lines. I have decided NEVER to judge a person too soon!
- I am writing this post, now, when I am loaded with studies and tensions, partly to clear that much of space in my mind. I open my book and there goes my mind yelling at me that I have not posted a thing on my blog and that its sure that I wont stick my resolution and this and that and on and on which destroys a lot of time, concentration and energy! So.. here it goes! one blockage overcome!
- It was my Mom's birthday a couple of weeks back and I had decided that I would be putting a line for her on my post in may.. So here I go: I love ya Amma! Live a long life and Please, take care of your health!
- My foodie roomies and I had made a fruit salad again and it was bit over the budget and not really as good as it was supposed to be!
- I just read this : According to a survey, the one who blinks the least has won every election in US - from the Kennedy - Nixon contest in 1960 through 2000!! wow!
Till later,
